RUSSIA CHINA

SOTT – As Beijing begins construction of a lighthouse in the disputed South China Sea, Radio Sputnik’s Loud & Clear speaks with Eric Draitser, founder of StopImperialism.org, to discuss the ongoing tensions between the US and China.

“What we’re really interested in here is the symbolic significance of China’s opening of this lighthouse because it is clearly and unmistakably an issue that has gone far beyond just military capabilities, commercial capabilities,” Draitser tells Loud & Clear.

“Now China is also injecting itself into the legal questions and conflict resolution and dispute resolution.”

Beijing’s construction of artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago has been met with derision by US officials who accuse China of attempting to establish an air defense zone. Draitser believes this to be an inaccurate reading of Beijing’s goals.

“…China now becomes a focal point in conflict resolution when it comes to maritime disputes, and I would argue this is another facet of China trying to pivot the world’s attention away from strictly Western institutions when it comes to conflict resolution and putting China on an equal footing…politically, as well as economically and legally…”

The United States argues that the United Nations forbids establishing territorial claims around artificially constructed islands, but such actions do have precedent.

“China is doing very similar things to what a lot of the other powers historically have done, what the United States has done…wherein it is exercising what it perceives to be its sovereign rights over its own territorial waters,” he says.

  1. Hmmm

    Actually all the saber rattling in both Europe and the South China Sea are meant to be nothing more than a distraction for the American public. They are needed to hide the fact that now all of countries in the Middle East that stood in the way of Israel’s defacto control of the region have been vanquished by the US. It really isn’t time for America to leave, but since the “terrorists” are obviously busy keeping all those “impediments” to Israel’s empire busy fighting among themselves, an excuse was created for the US to begin disengaging.

    Israel is well on its way to making the Nazis look like a bunch of pacifists. The last thing NutenYahoo wants is the US, and hence the world, looking over his shoulder as Israel continues to commit war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and Apartheid in its bid to create the perfect Jewish master race and empire. At least until they get their man Sanders placed in the White House.

  2. Eric Draitser is a jew. He also appears as Tony Cartalucci. Ryan Dawson and an Irish journalist lifted the secret of his true identity two years ago. So one has to be very aware of the agenda he represents which is never to blame Judaism ! His new eastern Outlook website works toward that goal. Jewish journalist William engdahl publishes there.
